The Art of Prospecting for New Business

About this Webinar

The Most Common Agency New Business Strategy: “Lying in the middle of the road and waiting to get run over.”

Why prospecting is an insurance policy for a healthy agency.  Almost all agencies occasionally send out examples of their work or promotional emails explaining how amazing they are to a list of 30-40 prospects.  But when no one responds to hire them, the agency’s conclusion is that “prospecting doesn’t work.”

First of all, communicating is A PART of prospecting, NOT all of it. (And how to communicate effectively is an art that few agencies understand.)

The really important part of prospecting is getting face-to-face . . . but not to “sell” (being sold to is why clients don’t want to meet with agencies).

Join Robb High, Robb High Associates as he reviews how to effectively create a communications program to lift your agency’s awareness to convert new business prospects.  Prospecting is much more like dating in the real-world sense; getting to know each other so maybe you will get married.

Key takeaways:

  • The proper way to develop a good prospect list fast; how many prospects to include; how to enter new categories
  • How to quickly create an effective communications program to lift your agency awareness; what kind of content works and what doesn’t (Robb will cite specific examples 
  • How often to communicate to prospects; whom in a prospect organization should you be communicating with
  • How to “date” prospects; how to get first meetings – what works, what doesn’t; what to do and what not do on a date; how to build a positive relationship.

Who should attend:

Everyone involved in new business development.
